Electrical discharge machining(EDM)simplified is a process of eroding a metallic workpiece with a reoccurring controlled electrical spark. Die Technology Inc. utilizes Wire EDM, Sinker EDM, and Small Hole EDM. Technological advances in controls, digital power supplies, dual feedback positioning and computing speed have dramatically improved the speed, accuracy, and reliability of the EDM process. Die Technology only utilizes high-accuracy and high-efficiency EDM equipment. Feature and positional accuracy deviation of less than 2 microns is common, and surface finishes of Ra 0.08 can be achieved in carbide and steel components. The EDM process generally does not introduce stress into the workpiece and provides a burr-free, clean surface.
Wire EDM refers to a machine or machining process in which a thin wire is used as an electrode to cut through a metallic workpiece. The XY table of the machine moves around a stationary wire. Wire EDM can be used to cut a shaped punch followed by a matching die opening into a die plate, most often for a blanking die or progressive die.
Wire EDM has always been a core expertise of Die Technology Inc. For 35 years, Die Technology has utilized only the most accurate and most reliable wire EDM available. Our team has years of experience and is trained in the latest technology and methodologies to provide the highest quality components possible. This includes high precision straight cuts, tapered parts, as well as4-axis cuts. Die Technology has multiple machines capable of C-axis spin burn and synchronized turn and burn. The electrical discharge equipment is meticulously maintained by our professionally trained in-house service team.
Sinker EDM refers to a machine or machining process used to create blind pockets or features that are difficult or impossible to machine conventionally. An electrode is created to the shape of the feature that is required and utilized to “burn” the detail into the workpiece. Examples include injection mold cavities or blind pockets with square corners.
Sinker/wire EDM is used for many applications. Materials that are difficult to machine conventionally such as Inconel, MP35N, carbide, molybdenum, tungsten, etc. can be effectively and efficiently processed utilizing EDM. Features requiring near sharp inside corner radii can be easily achieved with EDM. Wire EDM can achieve less than .006” inside corner radius, and less than .002” R in some applications. Die Technology utilizes wire EDM to manufacture highly complex assemblies such as stamping dies, high precision tooling and fixtures, and components with ultra-accurate requirements.
Wire or sinker EDM can be very precise. Features that have critical true position and feature size requirements are easily attained with wire EDM. Die Technology employs ultra-high accuracy equipment that is proven to hold feature accuracy of one micron and true position accuracy of less than three microns deviation to programmed location. Surface finishes finer than 0.08 Ra have been documented.
Small hole EDM refers to a machine or machining process used to “drill” holes through a metallic workpiece. The electrode is typically a brass or copper tube. The workpiece material is typically hardened steel or carbide, or materials that are difficult to machine utilizing conventional means. Small hole EDM is often used to make a thread hole for wire EDM and has applications far beyond. Die Technology’s small hole EDM equipment has the capability to machine holes as small as Ø.008” and up to Ø.250”. This equipment has the capability to orbit the electrode for diameter and depth control, as well as the ability to change guides and electrodes autonomously. This equipment is fast & efficient for all metallic workpieces.
